Sorry, no miracle cure there. If it were true, the entire world population would be staring at candles.
FYI-Cataract related blindness is a huge problem in India, and cataracts account for 80 percent of the visually impaired in that country.

1st doctor did cataract surgery part of catract fell into the eye(said the middle part was super hard).Then she had to have second surgery”vitrectomy” to remove it.But in 2nd operation her new lens had to be removed.Doctor has this and that excuse.Is that grounds for medical law suit?

Actually, I work doing medical transcription for a group of eye surgeons, and I have seen it before where a piece of the original lens is retained or drops into the vitreous, necessitating the need for a pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy. This is a risk of the original cataract surgery, but I would get a 2nd, even 3rd opinion if there have been additional complications. The fact that there was a retained lens fragment without additional complications, probably won’t make for a very strong case. (this also happened to my aunt…and they replaced the secondary lens at the time of her vitrectomy)

Question by Indiana Jones: maybe i’m reading too much into this nd-YAG procedure but….?
i’ve been researching it cuz i’m going to have it soon and the more i read about it the more nervous i become.

i read that it is usually done several months or even a few years after the cataract surgery and yet i just had my surgery on may 18th and i’m going to have the procedure within 2 weeks from now.
so that is a little worry some

and i’ve read that 1 out of every 50 people will get a detached retina due to the procedure and that scares the hell out of me cuz i am at a much higher risk for it than most people and i’ve already had a detached retina twice in that eye.

am i overly worried or should i opt not to do the procedure even though the cells are already forming on the lens?

i’m going to my retina specialist tomorrow just to make sure my retina still looks fine after the cataract surgery so i willdefinitelyy be asking him what he thinks about the nd-YAG procedure but i’d still like opinions on here.

The internet is a wonderful thing. Anyone can say anything about anything and the world will accept it as truth. nd-Yag capsulotomy surgery is among the least risk prone ocular surgeries there is. I don’t know where you found the 1 out of 50 statistic but it simply is not true. I’ve been performing this surgery since 1995 and I have yet to have a single patient develop a post surgical retinal detachment. Is the procedure risk free? No surgical procedure is risk free. But I assure you this is not one you need to stay awake over at night.

And as to your concern about how rapidly you developed capsular clouding, this is also nothing to worry about. It is true that the MAJORITY of patients develop cloudiness months or years after cataract surgery. So, that just means you aren’t average. Somebody has to be not average. It just happens to be you. I can’t explain it but some people just simply cloud faster than others. It just happens. I tend to see more rapid clouding in younger patients or those with quite severe cataracts. But this issue really isn’t an issue.
